I think that's stupid idea to close this forum for chretien celebrating!

I think the quality of people getiing on these forums is starting to go down the drain.
Let me see Monsieur Africain....
You are on this forum because Mike takes all the trouble and makes the effort to make it available to you.
Yet you are calling his decision stupid, showing absolutely no respect for your host, or his religion for that matter.
Why should anyone respect you or your opinios ?

Monsieur Africain,
I assume, based on the "wink" icon, that you were just kidding.
Remember folks: It is very hard for other people to guess your intentions in an e-mail or short message board posting. Communication is all the more
difficult when we are using a language (English) which is not many people's first language.
I also think that Mike found Orthodox Easter a convenient excuse to shut down the Forum to allow for tempers to cool a bit--and I think I am partly
responsible for stirring things up.
I hope that helps...
Best,
John

Happy belated Orthodox Easter cousins. And Mike, I look forward to such a wonderful surprise with the beautiful Christian oud music and Christian
paintings for next year and for many years to come. It was nice to be reminded that it is Easter again (awesome paintings.) Keep up the good work
buddy.

Verry true ya Lello.
I think it was a beautiful Idea to remind us what easter means and how it should bring peace and unity for us. Coptic churces depict some of the most
beutifull icons I have seen so thank you for sharing them with us.
Also my girlfriend is Coptic, man... I tought our liturgy was long (Iam maronite) there's takes forever hehehe but still it is verry nice to see.
happy easter to all.

Take care,
Mike
